Selene was now working full-time after her minor breakdown.

It seemed like she could handle the alone time, even for a couple of hours, but after remembering in the bathtub she couldn't stand having time to herself.

And thankfully, Gunnar approved.

He wasn't completely strange.

But he was weird. Not in an awful way, but in a way that she didn't understand.

And frankly, she wasn't sure that she could understand him.

The scheduling program notified her of a new booking and she opened it.

"Hmm, Marva Hampton," She mumbled the name to remember it.

Total recall.

Another part of the perfection she tried leaving behind.

It would probably take the rest of her life to relearn life in a normal sense.

The phone rang and she answered seconds later.

"Hendrik's Autoshop, this is Galia," She refrained from mentally noting the perfection of her telephone script.

Remember, no more picture-perfect perfection.

She noted instead.

"Hi, Galia. I hope you don't mind, but I wanted to know how that game was treatin you," Gunnar said surprising her.

Why did he even bother remembering the game?

Instead of marking him as a weirdo, she wanted to give him a chance.

Maybe he wanted to know because he was nice.

"It's been-oh no,"

No.

She clicked the mouse hoping the page was only frozen.

"You alright?" He asked concerned, but Selene's mind was frozen just like the page.

She clicked everything on the screen, but nothing happened.

Gunnar was going to yell at her. He would finally show something other than kindness and she deserved it.

The appointment was now gone because of a mistake.

"No," She gripped her hair and tugged it in frustration.

A mistake was a missed take, and she missed this take for Gunnar.

She messed with his money.

"Galia, talk to me." He said gently.

His voice wouldn't be gentle for much longer.

She had to tell the truth and own her much-deserved consequences.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but the computer froze and I deleted an appointment on mis-accident," Selene couldn't say the word.

She only hoped that the consequences were bearable. Sometimes the quietest voices hold the worst bark.
